D2CMA contains a few R-scripts, mainly the function optimize.MA.design which builds upon the daMA package. It was used to optimize the two-color microarray experimental design for analyzing the differential responses of sensitive and tolerant rice cultivars to drought stress
OligoWiz performs intelligent design of oligonucleotides for DNA microarrays. It is implemented as a client-server solution, which consist of an easy to use Graphical User Interface (written in Java) which delegates the computationally intensive operations to a powerful Multi-CPU server hosted at the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis.
MODEST allows the rapid and effective design of optimal MAGE (multiplex automated genome engineering) oligos based on simple input, to achieve any mutation possible with MAGE.
CellBlender is an addon for Blender-2.6x to create computational cell biology models for use in MCell and potentially other cell simulation biophysics engines. In CellBlender 0.49 you can create geometric objects, assign surface regions to said objects, export the objects as MCell MDL geometry files, set MCell simulation parameters, import a time-series of MCell VIZ_OUTPUT, and interactively playback or render an animation of the VIZ_OUTPUT. MDL import along with other features will be added in future versions.
CellBlender is replacing PSC_DX and DReAMM as the primary tool to visualize MCell simulations.
STAMP is a Staden package extension for automating microsatellite marker design. It integrates the de novo repeat identification program Phobos by Christoph Mayer and PRIMER3 into Pregap and Gap4. It allows tagging repeats for masking them out for assembly (Pregap), finding repeats in assembled Gap4 databases, automatic primer design flanking marked repeats and multiplex primer design.
HYDEN (HighlY DEgeNerate primers) is a program for designing pairs of degenerate primers for a given set of DNA sequences. HYDEN works well for large input sets of genomic sequences (e.g., hundreds of sequences of length 1Kbp).
